Arizona volleyball has a block party but cannot overcome Oregon State

There was a lot to like about what Arizona volleyball did against Oregon State. Blocking. Setting. Fighting back. None of it was enough, though, as the Beavers won their first back-to-back Pac-12 matches since the pandemic-shortened season in the spring of 2021.

It was OSU’s second straight five-setter. The Beavs took down No. 19 Arizona State on Friday. On Sunday, it was a 29-27, 16-25, 23-25, 25-16, 15-12 affair against the Wildcats.

In many ways, the match was a microcosm of Arizona’s season. It was uneven and inconsistent. There was great play by some and underperformance by others.
